通过躯体冥想在生活经验中思考电磁现象
Contemplating electromagnetic phenomena in lived experience through somatic meditation
摘要:
本科物理课程的目标之一是让学生意识到形式物理原理和个人经验之间的联系。然而,研究表明,在本科物理课程的指导下,抽象和经验之间的联系的意识往往会恶化,有时显着。虽然这一现象已被广泛讨论的文献中,很少有教学干预措施已被设计或实施,以解决这一特殊的弱点,在本科物理教学。在这项工作中,我们表明,由躯体冥想和沉思组成的冥想练习加深了学生对正式的物理原理和个人经验之间的联系的认识,故意提请他们注意周围的电磁现象。在这个过程中,学生还注意到电动力学原理与化学和生物系统之间的跨学科联系。我们还发现,反身练习唤醒了理解电磁理论的内在动机,以及对反身练习的身体、情感和认知益处的欣赏。
英文摘要:
One of the objectives of the undergraduate physics curriculum is for students to become aware of the connections between formal physical principles and personal experience. However, research has shown that awareness of connections between the abstract and the experiential tends to deteriorate, sometimes significantly, following instruction in undergraduate physics courses. Although this phenomenon has been discussed extensively in the literature, few pedagogical interventions have been designed or implemented to address this particular weakness in undergraduate physics instruction. In this work, we show that a contemplative practice consisting of a somatic meditation and a contemplation deepens students' awareness of the connections between formal physical principles and personal experience by deliberately drawing their attention to electromagnetic phenomena in their surroundings. In this process, students also note interdisciplinary connections between electrodynamic principles and chemical and biological systems. We also find that the contemplative practice awakens an intrinsic motivation to understand electromagnetic theory, as well as an appreciation for the somatic, affective, and cognitive benefits of a contemplative practice.
